　　Garza's Art Works

　　Carmen Lomas Garza's eloquent etchings, lithographs, and gouache paintings depict primal images of the rural environment and communal cultural experience of Mexican decended people in  the  United  States.  In  an  introspective  and  personal  language,  she  describes  the  customs, traditions, a nd ways of life of her Texan Mexican heritage.By 1972, Lomas Garza had evolved her distinctive monitos, paintings of stylized figures in culturally specific social environments. She transposes images and scenes from her past, combining cultural documentation with invention in an
interplay of fact and fiction. Through selection, emphasis, and creation, these monitos delineate facets of experience, expressing deeper truths. Oral tradition is a mainstay of Chicano culture. In both urban and rural communities, a rich and varied repertoire of ballads, tales, and poetic forms is preserved in memory and passed from generation to generation. Lomas Garza's monitos function as an oral tradition in visual form. Her unique art of storytelling employs iconographic elements to create  a  concentrated  narration.  Visual  episodes  within  an  unfolding  epic  tale  of  cultural regeneration,  the monitos  keep  alive the customs and  daily practices that  give  meaning  and coherence to Chicano identity.
　　Their basic aim is to delight and instruct. For those outside Chicano culture, the  precise  and minutely detail  ed monitos  provide  a glimpse into  the rich and  vibrant lifestyl  e  of  the  largest  Spanish speaking  cultural  group  within  the  United  States  society. Although her art has an innocent earnestness and folkloric affinity, Lomas Garza's expression is neither naive nor instinctive. The artist is highly trained academically, but has chosen to remain independent of  dominant  artistic trends in order  to work toward  a  private  aesthetic response to social concerns. While her work does not posit an overt political statement, it originates from a desire to respo nd to the contemporary situation of Mexican Americans by expressing positive images of their culture.
　　全文翻譯：加扎的藝術(shù)作品
　　卡門·洛瑪斯·加扎富有表現(xiàn)力的蝕刻畫、平刻畫和樹膠水彩畫，描繪 了美國(guó)墨西哥后裔居住的鄉(xiāng)村環(huán)境和群體的文化經(jīng)驗(yàn)中的原始形象。  她用一種反省和個(gè)性 化的語(yǔ)言，描繪了得克薩斯州墨西哥后裔的風(fēng)俗、傳統(tǒng)和生活方式。 到 1972 年為止，洛瑪 斯·加扎已逐漸完成了風(fēng)格獨(dú)特的monitos這是將風(fēng)格化的人物置身于特定的社會(huì)文化環(huán) 境中的系列畫作。她從自己的經(jīng)驗(yàn)中移植出來一些形象和場(chǎng)景，用虛構(gòu)和現(xiàn)實(shí)的交融，實(shí)現(xiàn)了文化注釋和藝術(shù)創(chuàng)造的結(jié)合。通過挑選、突出和虛構(gòu)的手段，這些畫勾勒了人情事故的 各個(gè)方面，并表現(xiàn)了更深層的真實(shí)。 口語(yǔ)傳統(tǒng)是美國(guó)墨西哥文化的主流。在城市和農(nóng)村，人們?cè)谟洃浿斜Ａ袅烁黝惷裰{、傳說和詩(shī)歌并世代相傳。  洛瑪斯·加扎的 monitos，以可視的形象表現(xiàn)了這一口語(yǔ)傳統(tǒng)。 她獨(dú)一無二的藝術(shù)，用肖像法的元素創(chuàng)造了高度凝煉的敘事。作為逐漸展開的文化更新史詩(shī)中的視覺片斷，monitos 生動(dòng)地表現(xiàn)了賦予墨裔美國(guó)人有價(jià)值 及完整的認(rèn)同感的習(xí)俗和日常生活。 這些畫的根本目的是給人娛悅和教育。對(duì)墨西哥文化以外的人來說，這些畫準(zhǔn)確而細(xì)致地描繪了美國(guó)社會(huì)中比較大的西班牙語(yǔ)文化群的豐富和充滿 活力的生活方式。 盡管她的藝術(shù)天真、誠(chéng)摯并與民間藝術(shù)有極深的淵源，洛瑪斯·加扎的 表現(xiàn)手法卻絕不幼稚也并不是僅僅出于本能。 這位藝術(shù)家在學(xué)術(shù)上受過高度訓(xùn)練。她選擇獨(dú)立于藝術(shù)主流之外，目的是對(duì)社會(huì)的良心做出個(gè)性化的美學(xué)反應(yīng)。盡管她的作品未提出 公開的政治宣言，但卻是發(fā)源于通過描述墨美文化中的正面形象來反映墨美人目前處境的愿望。
